Honestly, I guess this will become very expensive for Microsoft, and they won't find a good business case what to do with the collected data. So Microsoft is wasting a huge load of money, and additionally their AI spyware causes a huge reputation damage for Microsoft: a lose-lose situation. :-(

- aleph_minus_one 2y agoThanks for the clarification of other kinds of spying that this enables. Nevetheless I still have difficulties seeing how this is supposed to make money for Microsoft.
- walterbell 2y ago> how this is supposed to make money No idea about this specific feature, but billions are being spent to train models in the cloud (including Azure), with the expectation that some models will be used for on-device inference. It remains to be seen whether those investments will return dividends. In the meantime, cloud and GPU vendors are making money on model training.
